Talk is cheap, show me the code
I guess what had made me switched from Akregator (and some other desktop RSS readers) was the instaneous aspect of Google Reader. I can read it anywhere and it loads much snappier than the desktop one. Desktop version of RSS reader use to load all the feed, sort them etc. That has been an unbearable overhead — which also what I feel about Akregator.
But, the more I use Google Reader, the more I am running out of feed items. The case with Google Reader is, once you’ve read (skim, mark all as read, name any reading method you have) that you’re done. That’s kinda suck isn’t it? I wonder why can we all have related items on our panel. Targetted feed anyone? Some may say it’d be distractious but hey this is Long Tail era. People only want to read what they want to read. It doesn’t make sense at all to have no tail for feed does it?
And this is Google we are talking about. Doh.
PS:
Does Rojo has those kind of tails I’ve just talked about, Mon?

I’m afraid, Rojo does’t have the aforementioned feature. It does have a digg-like system, but nothing looks longtail-ish at the moment.
